Drug Discovery and Evaluation: Safety and Pharmacokinetic Assays / Drug Discovery and Evaluation: Safety and Pharmacokinetic Assays [PDF ebook] 

This book is a landmark in the continuously changing world of drugs. As such it is important reading for many groups: not only for all students of pharmacology and toxicology but also for physicians, especially those involved in clinical trials of drugs, and for pharmacists who have to know the safety requirements of drugs.
The book is absolutely essential for scientists and managers in the pharmaceutical industry who are involved in drug finding, drug development and decision making in the development process.
In particular, the book will be of use for government institutions and committees working on official guidelines for drug evaluation worldwide.
